Mumbai: Filmmaker Subhash Ghai, who worked with legendary actor Shammi Kapoor on the 1982-hit film Vidhaata, says the actor was a representative of the youth and was looking forward to his upcoming film Rockstar with grand-nephew Ranbir Kapoor.

“I was to release a documentary with him at my institute. But I did not expect that he will leave us like this. More than the industry’s loss, this is my personal loss. I was very close to him,” Ghai told reporters outside the actor’s residence in Malabar Hill in south Mumbai here.
